Watching for Souls in the View of the great Account. Heb. xiii.-17

Let Zion's Watchmen all awake, And take th' Alarm they give; Now let them from the Mouth of GOD Their solemn Charge receive.

'Tis not a Cause of small Import The Pastor's Care demands; But what might fill an Angel's Heart, And fill'd a Saviour's Hands.

They watch for Souls, for which the Lord Did heav'nly Bliss forego ; For Souls, which must for ever live In Raptures, or in Woe.

All to the great Tribunal haste, Th' Account to render there; And shouldst thou strictly mark our Faults, LORD, how should we appear?

May they that Jesus, whom they preach, Their own Redeemer see; And watch thou daily o'er their Souls, That they may watch for Thee.
